I want to use the geaux font in word and I was wondering if LSU had released it to the public. Anyone know where I could find it?

Thanks.

Nah. That's just the font they use in a lot of web development things... I think.

If you're talking about the font used for the logo below, that's not true. All the characters are identical to a very rare font that I've owned for at least six or seven years now. The moment I saw the new versions of the LSU logo, I recognized it immediately since I've used that exact same font before. All they did was a minor change to certain characters (copyright reasons, maybe), but it's basically the same font.

Nope, My sister works for LSU and she told me NO. She said there are several things available for employees to download off the server, to make office letterhead, etc but the Geaux Font is protected. She said they keep it in Ft. Knox.

Tease. If you actually have this "rare" font, there is no reason to deprive this fark community of such a useful element.... Unless you are just being snide.

I've know you post on TD quite regularly and are generally not a jackass. Why start now?

I definitely have it, I emailed someone from TD with a sample of their screen name using the font.

Let me enjoy feeling like the only crack dealer on the block for a day or two, though
